Accor is the one major hotel group in this tab whose parent sits inside the EU, which means a guest's data is governed by GDPR at the controller level and enforced by a real supervisory authority rather than by a private arbitrator. That is the same structural advantage documented in the Mistral row of the LLM Providers tab and it is genuinely rare in hospitality. The catch is the same as everywhere else here: Accor franchises and manages far more hotels than it owns, so GDPR governs what the group may do with your booking while the property that photocopied your passport is a separate business.

Terms
Arbitration
French-law-governed terms; no US-style mandatory consumer arbitration or class action waiver of the kind that dominates this tracker. GDPR data-subject rights and EU supervisory authorities are the recourse mechanism.
Data sharing
ALL - Accor Live Limitless links stay data across roughly 5,700+ hotels and 40+ brands (Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, ibis, Fairmont, Raffles, Swissôtel, Pullman, Mövenpick). French parent means GDPR applies to the controller, which is a materially stronger baseline than any US chain in this tab.
Fees and billing
Property-set fees; ALL points partnerships extend into airline and rail programmes.
Contacts
